but one, i changed the voting rules so that there would be less technicality wins. i have yet to enforce it though because voting has been pretty good throughout and the more technicalities and rulings, the more interference from being a good, productive league.

For every vote in your match in your favor found to be invalid, it will be deducted from the total vote tally of that match as well as the total link tally of that voter. By this, I mean that you will lose votes in favor of you for each vote found to be invalid and that voter will lose links within his match which will result in a loss of votes from his total vote tally.

By the match’s end, a total vote tally and a technical vote tally will be displayed.

All who win by votes, but lose due to a technicality will have an L tacked to their record and advance accordingly. This L will be displayed in a new Technical Loss column (i.e., 10-3-1 translates as 10 wins and 3 losses with 1 due to technicality).

When a competitor reaches a total of 3 technicality decisions, he/she will be banned for 3 weeks of competition. In order to erase a loss due to technicality, a voter must vote on at least 10 matches (double the requirement) when available to do so. A competitor can only erase 1 technical loss per week.

All who win due to a technical loss will have an L tacked to their record and fall in ranks accordingly.

This rule shall apply to no-shows and shall not apply to a vote loss due to an extension.
